Jamming.

You think it's all fun and no work? Here's the three of us (Warren, André and me) jamming away the night... Maybe something will come out of this, but there's no plan. We're just drawing - well, I was mostly writing - no safety net, no tomorrow, wasting charcoal and China ink and paper... Hopefully, this will aggregate into a cool-joint book (Craghead/Opuntia/montesinos).

Below is a screenshot of some of the sentences I collected to get things started, but I wrote ("automatically", I might add) as the drawings got completed.

We had a lot of help from stupid little videos from youtube (Bollywood rocks!) and a couple of Sol bottles too!

Impera et Divide is a show at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville VA, USA focusing on contemporary international comics and sequential art with a highlight on a group of artists who come at comics from a different angle - combining sequences of images and words to create graphic poems rather than graphic novels. Relying on destabilizing and decentering strategies, this work offers rich, multivalent, and at times baffling reading experiences.
